Today's hearing will examine"China's Global Quest for Resources and Implications for the United States." In particular, our panel discussions will focus on water, fuel and non-fuel mineral resources, and fish.
These are the resources upon which the Chinese "economic miracle" depends. Although Mao-era policy emphasized economic, energy, and political self-reliance, China's endowment of natural resources no longer sustains its massive population and export-driven economy. China has been a net-importer of oil since 1993, and is aggressively seeking mineral resources overseas to supplement its domestic supply. With the exhaustion of traditional Chinese fishing grounds, China's fleets have operated further and further afield, in places as far away as Africa and Latin America, and in disputed waters as well. China's consumption of these resources has global implications.
